radiation syndrome
health problems caused by exposure to very high levels of ionizing radiation
hemolytic-uremic syndrome
Human disease
HELLP syndrome
severe pre-eclampsia characterized by hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme and low platelet count
antiphospholipid syndrome
human disease
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
human disease
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
rare genetic syndrome
Barth syndrome
lipid metabolism disorder that has material basis in X-linked inheritance of the tafazzin gene and is characterized by decreased production of an enzyme required to produce cardiolipin
Plummer–Vinson syndrome
syndrome
abetalipoproteinemia
Abetalipoproteinemia (also known as: Bassen–Kornzweig syndrome, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein deficiency disease, MTP deficiency, and betalipoprotein deficiency syndrome) is a disorder characterized by abnormal absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins from food. It is caused by a mutation in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein resulting in deficiencies in the apolipoproteins B-48 and B-100, which are used in the synthesis and exportation of chylomicrons and VLDL respectively. It is not to be confused with familial dysbetalipoproteinemia.
Felty's syndrome
syndrome that results in rheumatoid arthritis, splenomegaly and neutropenia
Jacobsen syndrome
multiple congenital anomaly caused by deletion on chromosome 11, often featuring intellectual disabilities, dysmorphic features, delayed development and heart defects.
drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms
drug eruption characterized by high fever, erythematous rash and inflammation of internal organs

rare disease
Aase syndrome

Bernard-Soulier syndrome
Human disease
TAR syndrome
genetic disorder
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
rare disease
Pearson syndrome
mitochondrial metabolism disease
Kostmann syndrome
group of diseases that affect myelopoiesis, causing a congenital form of neutropenia
chromosome 5q deletion syndrome
human disease
gray platelet syndrome
rare congenital autosomal recessive bleeding disorder caused by a reduction or absence of alpha-granules in blood platelets
Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome
a rare multisystem disease characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, microcephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, progressive combined immune deficiency and aplastic anemia.
